The tram lines here run parallel to the Robin Hood railway line that links Nottingham with Worksop, but there is no corresponding railway station.

Both tram and railway lines have two tracks, and the resulting four tracks cross David Lane on a pair of parallel level crossings.

[1][2] With the opening of NET's phase two, David Lane is now on the common section of the NET, where line 1, between Hucknall and Chilwell, and line 2, between Phoenix Park and Clifton, operate together.

[3][4] Nottingham Express Transit recommend using this stop to change between the Hucknall and Phoenix Park branches, rather than the next station (Highbury Vale) where the two branches diverge.

[citation needed] This is the closest tram stop to Basford United's football stadium, Greenwich Avenue.
